Jackson Jambalaya

Unofficial.

Official will be available tomorrow. Only difference should be the addition of the affidavit ballots, which were being verified and counted today.

Thanks for stating the obvious Pete.

Cheers.

It appears that JJ must really doubt the official count because he keeps bringing up the the obvious fact that the results need to be certified. I mean, he called out Melanie and he makes the point here.

How obvious does it need to be before we call him the obvious , apparent winner.

The way Kingfish talks about him on the radio Pete ought to start his own blog and TV reality program. Last time I listened to Pete on WJNT he was cutting callers off like Gallo.

Who was the write in?

Can somebody tell me the general areas of Jackson in which the following precincts are located:

32-37

44-46

73-79

88-97

100

These are the precincts that had a high vote percentage for Yarber.

33 is Eastover
34 is Willie Morris Library on Old Canton
Google hinds county ms polling locations and you should come across a link of precincts

Yarber is already being threatened over at the JFP for daring to talk to whiteys:

Knowledge06: If you [Yarber] continue to have ill advised and grossly uninformed interviews(WJNT on the morning after the election), you will ensure that you will be a one-term mayor.

Donner won't do anything to refute that sort of talk because she already shot her wad on the Kush amateur and because her inner control freak despises Kingfish's success.

Is there a point Charlie?

Is there any way to get these results on a ward level? I'm interested to see the total number of ballots cast in each ward and the percentage for each candidate. The Clarion Ledger tried to write something up about "Yarber wins 4 of 7 wards" but they of course fail to provide the details...including exactly which 4 Yarber won.

Data on front page of print edition.

Sorry you saw it as obvious but was referring to the earlier comment about "unofficial". And many folks think it doesn't include absentees, which in the past the first returns would not have included. New scanners change that and absentees are included. If it was obvious, don't waste your time reading it.

32-37 and 44-46 is NE Jxn. Also 78 & 79. 8 & 9 are Belhaven. Low 70's are precincts around Terry Road, south of I-20. 80's and 90's, generally south Jackson and west Jackson.

And no, I'm not interested in my own blog site or radio program.

I see the graphic on the front page of the Clarion Ledger, but it doesn't have the number of votes for each ward. I'm just curious how much weight each ward pulls. For example, what percentage of the votes cast in this special election came from ward 3 vs. ward 7...or ward 5 vs. ward 1. I'm sure the wards are drawn up to each have roughly the same number of registered voters, but what percent of those registered in each ward actually get out & vote?

Why don't you get off your ass 2:24 and crunch the numbers yourself.

Jackson municipal wards are a gerrymandered geographic fiction. Only council members know where they are. Maps only indicate their arbitrary nature. One can generally know the character of the ward by the character of the officeholder.
